Bill Gates admits that Ctrl-Alt-Del was a mistake and could have been done with just one button but the keyboard designer messed up!

Bill Gates has revealed that the Control-Alt-Delete function for Microsoft computer systems was a mistake that ended up sticking.
The Microsoft founder explained that the same function could have been easily achieved by having users only hit one button on their keyboard but a design flaw required the use of three fingers instead.
'We could have had a single button, but the guy who did the IBM keyboard design didn't wanna give us our single button,' he said at a talk at Harvard University.

Wow. Interesting. Well it's actually better since it's harder, if not impossible, to hit that combination by accident, as opposed to a single key.
